My study guide for ch23-25 in physics.

Physics Exam 1 Study Guide

Coulomb's Law / Electric Field ch.23

equation (units= N)

equation (units = N/C)

equation (units = N/C)

Electric Flux ch.24

equation (units N*m^2/C)

A has magnitude of the area and is perpendicular to the surface.

IMPORTANT: q is charge INSIDE the Gaussian Surface as any outside charges have no effect on the net flux.

Electric Potential ch.25

Electric Potential Engery

equation (units J) (s is displacement)

equation

equation (units J)

When finding the potiential engery of serval chareges, sum all the poptentials between all charges. For example with 3 charges a, b, and c:

equation

So you should have n choose 2 terms in the sum.

Electric Potential

equation (units J/C)

equation (units J/C)

equation (r is distance)

Simplified Relations

equation (d is distance)

Capacitance ch.26

equation (units Farad=C/V)

Parallel Plate

equation (d is distance between)

Cylinders

equation (a = inner raduis, b= outer radius)

Spheres
